I lunched at KooKoo with a friend and decided to return for dinner with some friends. The Persian/Iranian food was tasty and unique. The service was great. Olive, who serviced us, was competent AND entertaining. I highly recommend KooKoo. The underground public parking is only a block away. Taking the metro is only 2 blocks away.

Letena was a winner from start to finish. The servers were friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and well-presented and the ambiance was just right. We got the veggie sampler and our granddaughter ordered the beef tips. Both were outstanding. Bravo!
